Summary

This quote suggests that the fear of being loved is tied to the person's potential unhappiness. It implies that if someone is loved by others, it may hold them back from finding true happiness. This could be because the person feels obligated to reciprocate the same level of love, leading to feelings of burden or sacrifice. By avoiding the risk of being loved, the individual may believe they can pursue their own happiness without the interference or demands of others' affection.
